Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci encoding 5S and 45S (18S-5.8 S-28S) rRNAs are important
components of eukaryotic chromosomes. Here, we set up the animal rDNA database …

In higher eukaryotes, the 5S ribosomal multigene family (5S rDNA) is tandemly organized in
repeat units composed of a coding region (5S rRNA gene) and a nontranscribed spacer …

Molecular cytogenetic data on the number and position of 45S ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA;
located in nucleolus organizing regions, NORs) detected by FISH in 330 species of 77 …

Williams et al.(1988) commented on the use of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) in systematic studies.
Although we share their desire for greater rigor in systematic studies of rDNA, many of their …

Eukaryotic genomes contain far more DNA than needed for coding proteins. Some of these
additional DNA sequences comprise non-coding repetitive DNA sequences, mostly satellite …

Background Identification of species via DNA sequences is the basis for DNA taxonomy and
DNA barcoding. Currently there is a strong focus on using a mitochondrial marker for this …

In this paper we describe Southern blot hybridization results probed with 5S rRNA genes for
several Neotropical fish species representing different taxonomic groups. All the studied …

Abstract The 5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) consists of one transcriptional unit of about 120
base pairs, which is separated from the next unit by a non-transcribed spacer (NTS). The …

With the advent of long-read sequencing, previously unresolvable genomic elements are
being revisited in an effort to generate fully complete reference genomes. One such element …

In higher eukaryotes, the 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) is organized in tandem arrays with
repeat units composed of a coding region and a non-transcribed spacer sequence (NTS) …
